Chapter 118

After Yun Xi left, the Xiefang Hall and the Imperial Palace returned to their former calm . At first they didn’t feel much, but Xia Yuqing gradually felt that something was missing . There was no more experiencing the pleasure of ravaging a Xiao Longbao or the joyful drama of Xiao Bai vs Xiao Longbao, or even the blus.h.i.+ng of Xiao Longbao and the Big Bear, life has really become a bit boring . Especially…

“Lu Rui, do you think Xiao Yuan is a bit weird recently?” Xia Yuqing asked boredly, touching the listless Xiao Bai beside her .

As soon as Yun Xi left, Xiao Bai also became a little bored . Oh, this uncle’s favorite Xiao Long Bao sister is gone . This uncle will be sad for a while, please don’t disturb .

“Weird? What’s weird? Nu Bi didn’t see Xiao Yuan acting weird recently . ” Lu Rui was holding a feather duster to clean the dust from a glazed lamp next to Xia Yuqing when she heard Xia Yuqing’s question . As a result, as soon as she turned her head, she received a look from Xia Yuqing .

“You and Li Yuan are the closest, but you haven’t noticed her abnormality?” Xia Yuqing shook her head, her face full of chills .

Lu Rui looked like 囧 for a while . Yes, since the last time Xia Yuqing was kidnapped, she and Li Yuan, having faced hard times together, have established a revolutionary friends.h.i.+p and became the closest sisters in the palace . But even if you are a close friend, there are always some things that are kept a secret!

“Then Niang Niang, how do you think Xiao Yuan has acted abnormally recently?”

“Did you not notice? From five days ago to now, three times, Xiao Yuan has given me oranges instead of the tangerines I wanted . Five times, she gave me the wrong coloured clothes . Three days ago, she wiped the lamp back and forth seven times . Even when I saw the lamp start to cry, Xiao Yuan didn’t let it go . You didn’t notice that? From yesterday to now, Xiao Yuan looked up at the sky 201 times, sighed 365 times with one hand on her cheek, and was daydreaming countless times during mealtime . From my years of experience, I can see that this girl definitely has something she is keeping from us . ”

“…” How did you get such precise numbers? Niang Niang, how bored are you to count the number of sighs and her dazing off!?

“…Well, Niang Niang, you also said it, Li Yuan has something that she finds difficult to tell us . Since it’s hard to tell and she doesn’t want to let us know, we should just…”

“Lu Rui, you are wrong to say that . What is inexplicable? Inexplicable means that Xiao Yuan wants to tell us, but is embarra.s.sed to say it, so I can only hope that we discover it by ourselves . Poor Xiao Yuan, running into something upsetting . She must be so helpless and sad . No, I must find the culprit that made her sad! Then…hehehe…”

“…” Niang Niang, in fact, it’s just your curiosity at work, the last sentence is the main point!

“Speaking of it, Xiao Yuan has indeed been a bit off lately . ” Hearing the conversation between the two, Cui Er also stopped her work and joined in .

Xia Yuqing got more vigorous with her support team . She wrinkled her eyebrows and winked at Lu Rui, as if saying, “Let’s see, it’s not me alone . ”

Lu Rui twitched and just wanted to talk when she suddenly heard a small voice: “Actually, Nu Bi might be able to guess who this is related to . ”

As soon as the words came out, everyone’s eyes focused on the sound source . The small Ya Tou was timid . Suddenly becoming the focus of everyone’s attention, she was taken aback .

Before she recovered from the shock, she heard a swish, and a black shadow flashed past her eyes . In a moment, her hand was already held by someone . As soon as she raised her head, she saw Xia Yuqing’s big s.h.i.+ny eyes .

“You know who it is, just say it!” Xia Yuqing shook the little palace lady’s hand violently, directly shaking the poor little lady .

“Niang Niang, calm down . Xiao Hong is going to faint because of you . ” Lu Rui saw that the little palace lady was about to foam at her mouth . She couldn’t bear it, and hurriedly stepped forward and moved Xia Yuqing off her body .

“Huh?” Xia Yuqing took a closer look . The little palace lady was so frightened by herself that she started to twitch . She shook her hands and stepped back innocently, “Well, I didn’t mean it…”

Lu Rui turned and rolled her eyes . She raised the little palace lady up and whispered: “Don’t be afraid, Niang Niang is just… too excited . Ahem, go ahead and speak . ”

“Nu Bi…Nu Bi saw that the Grand Tutor has often come to visit Sister Li Yuan these days . I guessed that Li Yuan Jiejie’s thing… must be related to the Grand Tutor . ”

“The Gorgeous Tutor?” Xia Yuqing was startled . She turned her head and glanced at Cui Er, “The Gorgeous Tutor has been coming to our palace to look for Xiao Yuan recently? Why don’t I know about this?”

Cui Er smiled and said, “The Grand Tutor has come more frequently recently . He has specially chosen to come when Niang Niang is with the emperor . Of course, Niang Niang didn’t notice . ”

When she was with the beast? That is when she used most of her energy . During the confrontation with the beast, it is indeed impossible to notice the Gorgeous Tutor, but why does the Gorgeous Tutor have to sneakily avoid herself to find Xiao Yuan? Is it possible that he is here to seek revenge again?

Xia Yuqing suddenly remembered the enmity between Yan Ran and Li Yuan’s powdered medicine . Yan Ran did indeed seek revenge at the beginning, but after Li Yuan became one of her people, it seemed to be done with and no longer mentioned .

Could it be that the Gorgeous Tutor recently remembered the events of the past and started to trouble Xiao Yuan again? With Xiao Yuan being so righteous, since she doesn’t want to cause a rift between herself and the Gorgeous Tutor or even the emperor and the Gorgeous Tutor, did she keep silent?

The more Xia Yuqing thought about it, the more she felt that this was the case . The more she thought about it, the more she felt that Li Yuan had been bullied without her paying attention, and her face became solemn: “Where is Xiao Yuan now?”

“Reporting to Niang Niang, the Grand Tutor is here again . Xiao Yuan Jiejie went to the Piandian to talk to him?”

“What, why didn’t you say so earlier?” Xia Yuqing exclaimed . Raising her sleeves she ran into the Piandian, but Lu Rui was one step ahead . She pulled her: “Niang Niang, what do you want to do?”

“What else? Of course, to see what the two of them are doing . Hmph, if the Gorgeous Tutor dares to bully our Xiao Yuan, I will beat him until his mother can’t recognize him!”

“Uh…” Niang Niang, where did you come to the conclusion that the Grand Tutor bullied Xiao Yuan!? Also, being impulsive is the devil, don’t hit people casually! ! !

“Niang Niang, before the matter is clear, you shouldn’t rush forward to beat people like this . If there is any misunderstanding in this, Xiao Yuan will blame herself . ” Cui Er hurriedly stepped forward to persuade her .

Xia Yuqing stopped, but innocently tilted her head and said, “Who said I’m going to hit someone right away?”

“…” Everyone was stunned for a moment .

“Uh… Niang Niang, didn’t you just say…”

“I mean, if he dared to bully Xiao Yuan, but I don’t know if he bullied Xiao Yuan . In your eyes, do you think I can’t differentiate between what is right or wrong?” Xia Yuqing looked at the stunned girls with a hurt face .

“…” Niang Niang, we can’t really be blamed for this . It’s Niang Niang, your words are too ambiguous, h.e.l.lo! If we are played by you this many times, we will definitely be mentally weak, for sure! ! !

“So Niang Niang, you are going to…”

Xia Yuqing heard Lu Rui’s question and couldn’t help but stand tall, with a face of reason: “In order to determine whether the Gorgeous tutor has bullied Xiao Yuan, the best way is…”

Xia Yuqing paused, and under everyone’s expectant and curious gaze, she brought a group of people to nestle under the window edge of the side hall again . She p.r.i.c.ked up her ears and listened to every word and activity inside, secretly lurking on every move, waiting for an opportunity, commonly known as… eavesdropping!

“Niang Niang, is this the best method you were speaking about?” Lu Rui groaned feebly, wondering why she would listen to other people’s conversation like a thief in the palace . The last time Niang Niang was listening here, she threw Xiao Bai in the hall . This made Yun Xi so scared that Yun Xi had to hang onto General He’s neck . This time Niang Niang, you won’t be…

Lu Rui had a lingering fear . She glanced at Xiao Bai who was nestled in Cui Er’s arms as usual . Xiao Bai seemed to feel her gaze . He lazily raised his head and glanced at her . Finding out that she was not the Xiao Long Bao Jiejie he wanted, he opened his mouth and yawned . After yawning, he buried his face back in again . Xiao Bai was so lonely now that there was no Xiao Long Bao Jiejie .

Although my Xiao Longbao Jiejie always hides from this uncle, I know that Xiao Longbao Jiejie is shy . She must feel embarra.s.sed to see a handsome and suave dog like me . Thats why she would turn the corner every time she saw this uncle . She must be worried that she would fall for this handsome face . It’s okay, I understand . Xiao Longbao Jiejie is so cute even if she runs . The moving Xiao Long bao makes me want to eat it even more!

Xiao Bai silently recollected the deliciousness of Xiao Longbao Jiejie, and saliva almost dropped out of the corner of his mouth . Cui Er’s eyes narrowed when she saw that . What discordant thing was this dog thinking again? It seems that spring is approaching, and even this dog is in heat . I must find a chance to talk to Niang Niang and find a companion for Xiao Bai, but with Niang Niang’s temperament, she is very likely to find a male dog for Xiao Bai…”

“That, Niang Niang, isn’t this bad? Eavesdropping on other people’s conversations…”

“Eavesdropping?” The hair on Xia Yuqing’s head stood up, her eyes stared at Lu Rui .

Lu Rui froze, and reluctantly replied: “Yes, Niang Niang, you are listening with integrity . ”

After speaking, she silently cried . The persuasion ended before it could begin . Xiao Yuan, I’m sorry! Lu Rui Jiejie still can’t beat Niang Niang after all, you should wish for more blessings! ! !

“Shhh, don’t say anything, the people inside are starting to talk . ” Xia Yuqing made a silent gesture to everyone, then got closer and closer to the window, hoping to better hear the conversation inside .

“Yuan Er, that incident, it was my fault . I shouldn’t…”

“Yuan Er? Which Yuan? Zhi Yuan*? I’m sorry, I’m not the ignorant little book boy in Grand Tutor’s family anymore . I am now the court lady Li Yuan who stands next to Qing Jiejie . I have nothing to do with the Grand Tutor . ”

* paper kite; uses same yuan

Tsk tsk tsk, the smell of gunpowder is so heavy already just when she opened her mouth, he must really be here to seek revenge . However, how come she feels something is wrong? Why is Xiao Yuan so angry and the Gorgeous Tutor so guilty?

“What do you mean there’s nothing? That…that night, although it was because of the soup that Niang Niang had made, but what happened to me…I knew it, and when I got up the next morning…” Yan Ran’s face was completely red as he spoke .

Xia Yuqing was taken aback . Soup? My soup? When did I give soup to the Gorgeous Tutor? Could it be the previous bowl of stewed pig’s feet with red dates? No, what he meant was clearly…could it be the bowl of turtle soup not too long ago? No that was wrong, Xiao Yuan brought back the bowl of soup intact . What kind of soup did I give…soup…soup…

“!!!” Xia Yuqing’s mind suddenly recalled a past scene .

In the Qianqing palace hall with the Ultra Seme Lord and the Gorgeous Tutor, there was a bowl of wolfberry pigeon soup with an extra ingredient . The Ultra Seme Lord had later appeared in the Xiefang palace Hall intact, is it possible…is it possible that the bowl of soup entered the Gorgeous Tutor’s belly, that… that…

Xia Yuqing’s eyes widened . Before she could recover from the shock, she was bombarded with a heavy bomb again .

“Haha, you remember that night and you remember the next morning?” With a crash, along with Li Yuan’s sneer, all the tea cups on the side hall table were swept down . There was a loud crash sound .

Xia Yuqing didn’t have time to feel remorse for the fine blue and white porcelain cups, which were invaluable in modern times, when she heard the whistle of Li Yuan’s blowing up, going out of control: “If you really had the heart, then you wouldn’t have taken away my chast.i.ty that night, then hurriedly escaped from the palace alone the next morning and ignore me . ”

“Rumble—” A loud and deafening noise echoed in the ears of Xia Yuqing and the others .

After a long while, Xia Yuqing looked like a ghost . She turned her head and asked with a pale face, “Did I hear anything wrong just now? Xiao Yuan was talking about her chast.i.ty and the next day the Gorgeous Tutor escaped outside the palace, unconcerned?”

Lu Rui and the others were obviously taken aback . They nodded blankly, and shook their heads hurriedly .

“…So yes or no?”

“If we didn’t hear it wrong just now, it was true . ”

“I…” Listening to Lu Rui’s words, Xia Yuqing immediately raised her sleeves and raised her feet wanting to kick the window . She wanted to run aggressively to fight that wicked man, but was hugged by a few girls behind her first .

Lu Rui covered Xia Yuqing’s mouth and said anxiously: “Niang Niang, calm down . ”

“Mmm…” How can I calm down? My cute little rice ball was actually taken advantage of, and… and was abandoned . Even if this uncle can bear it, this aunt cannot! G.o.d, if anyone tries to stop me, I will destroy their soul! ! !

“I know that it was my fault . That night… I really didn’t know something was added into the soup… I fell into someone’s trap! I didn’t expect you to be outside at the time, I was uncomfortable . You suddenly opened the door and came in, and then…”

“So, as long as a woman entered at the time, you would have spent the night with her? It’s just that I was unlucky? I broke in at that time and can only admit that I was unfortunate?”

“Squeak…” A terrifying noise suddenly came into his ears, making Yan Ran stunned: “What is that sound?”

Lu Rui and the others were frightened . They looked at the slightly indignant brows and grinding of the teeth of the person they were holding . What should they do? Are they exposed?

“What sound? It must be the mouse in the palace grinding their teeth . Don’t change the subject . If you don’t want to answer my question directly, stop here, and don’t come to see me again in the future . ” Li Yuan’s face sank . She turned, wanting to leave, but Yan Ran held her back .

“I’m not… I didn’t mean that!” Yan Ran didn’t understand how a sentence could be misunderstood like this, and hurriedly explained, “I just meant that I was controlled by drugs that night, that’s why I did those b.e.s.t.i.a.l things to you . Afterwards, I had a guilty conscience, so… I ran away early in the morning . Don’t worry, I will be responsible for you this time . ”

“Controlled by drugs? You doing that to me was completely due to being controlled by drugs? That means that if you were controlled by drugs that night, and you accidentally ran into a random palace lady, you would have done the same thing to her? Then, you would run away with a guilty conscience? You would also come to her later on and say that you want to be responsible for her?” Li Yuan frowned slightly, her eyes filled with inquiry, anger and a trace of expectation . But it was a pity that Yan Ran was patronized by his guilty conscience and did not notice that at all .

“You… you can say that . ”

“…” The faint light in Li Yuan’s eyes went out . Xia Yuqing outside the window began to kick her legs vigorously .

Ah, what does this man think of our Xiao Yuan? A brothel girl to relieve his desires? When he needs her, he can pull her along and when he doesn’t need her, he can throw her aside?

Ah, ah, I’m going to cut this b.a.s.t.a.r.d! ! !

“I see, you just feel a little guilty for having done something bad to me . Well, no need . I don’t need you to be responsible for me . I sprinkled powder on you twice and lied to you once . With these things happening, it’s my retribution . Now we are equal . You and I don’t owe each other . From now on you walk on your road, and I will cross my bridge . We will have nothing to do with each other . We will treat each other as strangers, we don’t even have to say h.e.l.lo . Of course, I don’t want to see you again, and I hope you won’t bother me again . That’s that . Nu Bi has things to do, so let’s say goodbye . Grand Tutor, please . ”

Yan Ran was stunned by the words of Li Yuan . After returning to his senses, he saw the scene where Li Yuan turned blankly and wanted to leave .

Before he could think, his hand had already held Li Yuan’s hand first . His heart was already messed up by what Li Yuan said just now . When he heard Li Yuan say that she was not going to pursue it, that they owe each other nothing, Yan Ran’s heart didn’t feel a little relieved, but felt…anger .

Yes, it was anger . Anger for the person in front of him being eager to break their relations.h.i.+p, they clearly shouldn’t be like this . They shouldn’t pa.s.s by each other and not even say h.e.l.lo . They shouldn’t be like strangers and pretend they don’t know each other . Only calling each other politely, it shouldn’t be…it shouldn’t be this kind of relations.h.i.+p, they shouldn’t have this kind of distance!

“What are you doing? Li Yuan turned her head impatiently, her lips were sealed as soon as she wanted to curse . The next half of the sentence was completely swallowed into the opponent’s mouth .

“!!!” The few people listening in the corner outside the window were taken aback by the sudden change .

Ahhhhh, you b**tard, dare to gnaw on my little rice ball in front of me?! Pervert, where is your hand touching! ! !

Xia Yuqing looked at the two people who were entangled not far away . A small flame had appeared in her eyes and it was quickly becoming a prairie fire .

After a while, Li Yuan who had difficulty breathing because she was gagged, started to struggle a little .

This little detail fell into the eyes of Xia Yuqing . My little rice ball is struggling → my little rice ball is unwilling → the beast is forcing her → he is r*ping her!

Angrily, Xia Yuqing broke away from the few palace ladies who were suppressing herself . The palace ladies who were dumbfounded by watching the scene in front of them slackened their grip on her . Thus they were caught off guard when she struggled . After pus.h.i.+ng them down, Xia Yuqing took up her weapon, her embroidered shoes and tossed it hard to hit Yan Ran’s head with one of them .

Yan Ran’s head was in pain, he hurriedly turned his head and looked around . Facing Xia Yuqing’s furious expression, he panicked and released Li Yuan and ran away .

“The beast in front, release that girl for this aunt! Stop for this aunt, don’t run!” Xia Yuqing shouted, then carrying another embroidered shoe, she stepped on the window edge .

Unexpectedly, because it had just snowed and some of the water seeping from the window was iced, everything was a bit slippery . Xia Yuqing had obviously forgotten that she was not alone now and that she had a big billowing ball on her . So because she was too impulsive, the consequence was that Xia Yuqing’s figure stepped on the window, swayed and fell to the side .

“Niang Niang (Qing Jiejie)!” The screams came one after another . Even Yan Ran, who was rus.h.i.+ng to escape, stopped when he heard the movement . When he turned his head, his heart almost jumped out of his chest .

The nearest Cui Er and Li Yuan rushed forward one after another, and caught Xia Yuqing at the last moment . But even so, the impact of falling from the window was not small .

“Niang Niang, how are you doing? Are you okay? Niang Niang, don’t scare Nu Bi!” Lu Rui heard the bang and suddenly returned to her senses . Her face changed slightly, and she hurried forward to ask anxiously .

“Um…” Xia Yuqing’s small face was wrinkled, she whispered, “It hurts . ”

Cui Er and Li Yuan were startled . They looked down at the same time, seeing blood flow down Xia Yuqing’s calf . Their face changed a lot: “Call the imperial doctor and midwife, I’m afraid Niang Niang will give birth . ”

“What? Isn’t there one month left? Hurry up and call the imperial doctor, hurry up!” Lu Rui’s face was drained of blood completely . She hurriedly pulled a little court lady nearby and directed her .

Cui Er was still calm at this time and shouted: “Don’t panic, Niang Niang didn’t b.u.mp into anything just now, it should have been just a small impact . A month’s premature delivery is not a big deal . You should come over and help lift Niang Niang onto the couch . Lu Rui, you take someone to boil hot water first!”

“Boil hot water, I will boil hot water . ” Lu Rui was taken aback for a while . She exclaimed, and ran out to boil hot water .

“Also, have someone go to the imperial study room or Qianqing Hall to find the emperor . Go to Cining Palace to tell the empress dowager that Niang Niang is about to give birth . ” Li Yuan helped Cui Er move Xia Yuqing to the couch while using a handkerchief to wipe the cold sweat that dripped down from Xia Yuqing’s head from the pain . Looking at Xia Yuqing’s painful face, no one knew she was actually shaking .

“Xiao Yuan, um, am I going to die?” Xia Yuqing asked Li Yuan as she felt the pain coming from her body .

“No, no, Niang Niang is just going to have a baby . Isn’t Qing Jiejie’s favorite thing, soft and cute babies? Qing Jiejie and the emperor’s baby must be very cute . Their little face will be better than that of Xiao Xi’s, even softer and more comfortable to pinch . ”

“Well, yes, a baby’s face is the cutest . If you give birth to a Q version of the Ultra Seme Lord, it will definitely be cute, but… but I just fell down . If the baby comes out early will it be okay?” Xia Yuqing looked at Li Yuan with tears in her eyes, her eyes full of self-blame .

“It’s okay . I caught Qing Jiejie with Cui Er Jiejie just now, and you didn’t b.u.mp into anything . Cui Er Jiejie also said that there will be no impact on giving birth earlier, the baby will definitely be fine . ” Li Yuan realized that Xia Yuqing was not worried about herself, but worried that the child would have an accident due to the impact and premature delivery . Her eyes could not help but become hot .

It’s all her fault . If it wasn’t for meeting that person by herself, if it wasn’t for… if Qing Jiejie and the child has any shortcomings, she…

“The doctor, the doctor is here! Doctor, please come in quickly, Niang Niang is in the side hall . ” As soon as Cui Er saw that the doctor had arrived, she immediately dragged the person into the side hall .

Xiefang Hall was in a mess due to Xia Yuqing’s accidental premature delivery, while the Imperial Study Room on the other side was not to be outdone .

Feng Tingye was negotiating with several ministers at the time . Recently, something major had happened in the country . Suddenly, he heard an anxious shout from outside: “Your Majesty, Xiao Anzi from Xie Fang palace requested your presence . ”

Feng Tingye’s subordinates suddenly stopped . Xiao Anzi is the little eunuch guarding the entrance of Xiefang palace . Running over at this time, is it possible that something happened to Ai Fei?

“Let him in . ”

Before the words came out, Xiao Anzi crawled into the door and exclaimed under the surprised gazes of several important ministers: “Your Majesty… your majesty, Niang Niang is in premature labour . ”

“What?” Feng Tingye suddenly stood up from his chair, and disappeared in front of everyone with a swish before everyone else could react .

Shao Zitong and Leng Ruofeng looked at each other and said in a low voice: “Everyone, please head back first . Wen Zhong, you lead them out of the palace . ”

Although He Wenzhong was also worried about Xia Yuqing, he knew that if he followed, it would just cause more chaos . He nodded and took the group of Da Ren who wanted to join in the fun, out of the palace .

When Feng Tingye rushed to Xiefang palace Hall, he heard the familiar voices inside and the conversation between the imperial doctor and the midwife: “The amniotic fluid has broken, is the hot water ready?”

“Take advantage of this time to feed Niang Niang a little food to replenish her physical strength . ”

“Your Majesty, you are here . Hey, your majesty, you can’t go in!” Lu Rui just took a pot of hot water and was about to send it in when she saw Feng Tingye who wanted to go inside . She stepped forward and blocked his way .

“Get out of the way!” Feng Tingye’s expression was especially ugly, he unceremoniously shouted at Lu Rui . His anxiety and anger suppressed Lu Rui, making it hard for her to lift her head . She wanted to step back and let him in, but thinking of the chaotic scene inside, she gritted her teeth and persisted .

Listening to the movement inside, Feng Tingye’s expression changed again . He stretched out his hand and wanted to pull Lu Rui away . Fortunately, he was pulled back by Leng Ruofeng and Shao Zitong from the left and right .

“If you are a brother, don’t stop me . ”

The two of them were stunned . They knew that this anxious person at the moment was not the usual emperor who sat on his throne controlling countless lives and powers in the world, but an ordinary, caring husband and future father, worried about his wife and child being in danger .

When the two of them were startled, they slightly loosened their grip . Feng Tingye took the opportunity to make a move and wanted to rush in, but the two recovered from being startled .

“It’s because we are brothers that we have to stop you . ” Leng Ruofeng stared at Feng Tingye decisively with a cold face .

“What can you do when you go in? Help that girl give birth? Don’t forget that you are the emperor . When you go in, whether it is the midwife or the doctor, you will be jealous . Doing this will only be counterproductive! You! Do you want to kill that girl and your child?”

As expected, when Shao Zitong said this, Feng Tingye relaxed and only struggled a little . At this moment, the doctor came out from inside .

“Chen welc…” The old doctor was also shocked when he saw the posture of the several people . He hurried forward to salute after he recovered .

“No need to be polite, how is Ai Fei and the child? Is there any danger?” Feng Tingye grabbed the old doctor’s hand and asked eagerly .

It was the first time that the old doctor in the palace saw Feng Tingye panicking like this for so many years . He couldn’t help but be taken aback and think if this person can really give birth to a prince this time, in this life… he will get glory beyond the reaches of anyone .

“Please rest a.s.sured, Niang Niang’s fetus has always been very stable . Although the child is considered premature, 9 months is still ripe . The child born will not have much impact . This minister will do his best to ensure that Niang Niang and the child are safe . ”

“That’s fine . ” Feng Tingye breathed a sigh of relief when he heard these words, but it didn’t take long before he was alert again . Just after a quarter of an hour, the moaning in the room gradually became loud . They were cries of pain .

“Ah, it hurts, it hurts! Ooo…it hurts…”

Xia Yuqing’s cries continued to spread from the room, making Feng Tingye and even Leng Ruofeng sitting outside the room feel pale .

Accompanied by Xia Yuqing’s painful cry, a tea cup in Feng Tingye’s hand smashed into dregs all over the floor with a crash .

Feng Tingye stood up with a calm face . The two people on the side were startled, they slowly waited for the opportunity to prevent someone from rus.h.i.+ng in .

But this time, Feng Tingye seemed to have listened to what Shao Zitong had said . Instead of blindly rus.h.i.+ng in, he actually started to circle around the place .

“…”

The two were speechless for a while, then they heard sounds of footsteps coming from outside . After, they saw it was Zhang Suns.h.i.+ hurriedly walking in from outside .

“Royal Mother…” Feng Tingye raised his head and looked at the Zhang Suns.h.i.+ in surprise .

Zhang Suns.h.i.+ looked at him, and seemed to understand something . She dropped the sentence: “Just stay here, I will take Mei Xi into the room . ”

“Royal Mother! “Xia Yuqing was overjoyed when she saw Zhang Suns.h.i.+ .

“En, it’s royal mother . I’m here, nothing will happen . ” Zhang Suns.h.i.+ held Xia Yuqing’s hand and comforted her in a low voice, while Mei Xi ran to help the midwife . When Zhang Suns.h.i.+ gave birth to Feng Tingye, she was the one who helped deliver the baby, so she could be considered familiar .

Xia Yuqing, seeing the reliable Zhang Suns.h.i.+, cried out: “Royal Mother, it hurts so much . It hurts to have a baby . “

“It ‘s okay, having children is like this . It’s alright after the pain . Qing Er, think about the baby that will come out, then it won’t hurt so much . “

“Really?” Was it the same when royal mother gave birth to the emperor?” Xia Yuqing asked in a m.u.f.fled voice .

“Yes, Ting Er was naughty when he was a child . He often tossed in royal mother’s stomach and made me suffer a lot . The child in Qing Er’s belly is much better than him, I believe they must be a good baby . ”

Xia Yuqing wanted to refute, saying that this kid was not easy to deal with like their father . They once bullied herself in partners.h.i.+p with his father! But before the words could be spoken, there was another sharp pain that forced her to scream .

The few people outside the door were shocked, especially the quasi-daddy, who had innumerable pottery pieces in his hands .

“Ai Fei, she… there will be nothing wrong right?” This was the first time Feng Tingye discovered that he could have such fear in his life . He thought that the shock from last time when he found out that Xia Yuqing was missing was big enough, but he did not expect that this girl could refresh his own lower limit!

The two people on the side wanted to comfort him, but when they heard a high-pitched scream, they s.h.i.+vered .

“Woo, it hurts to give birth to a child . I don’t want to have a baby anymore . Why must a woman have a child, it hurts too much! Xiao Yuan, Xiao Yuan…” Xia Yuqing called out with tears during her pain .

As soon as Li Yuan heard Xia Yuqing’s call, she ran back to her and asked, “What’s wrong? I’m here! Qing Jiejie, is it very painful?”

“Xiao Yuan, you must… must… ”

“Huh?”

“It must be developed…”

“What?”

“It must be developed to allow men to have children . ”

“…What?” This seems to be too difficult .

“Woo, I don’t want to have children anymore, let the emperor give birth . Royal mother, the emperor said that he wants me to have seven or eight children, you make him have it . Let him have it . ”

“…”

“Puuu, seven or eight children? The emperor is really energetic, Chen definitely admires him . ” Shao Zitong outside the door couldn’t help laughing .

“Hmph, you are jealous . ”

“…” Sure enough, the IQ of a man with a wife and a child compared to a silly boy who is in love is…

“Royal Mother…” Xia Yuqing did not hear the response from Zhang Suns.h.i.+, and was dissatisfied again .

Zhang Suns.h.i.+ reluctantly coaxed and said in a low voice: “Well, let him give birth . Let him give birth, we will just give birth to this one . ”

“…” Royal Mother, did you really give birth to me?

With the a.s.surance of Zhang Suns.h.i.+, Xia Yuqing finally felt relieved and worked hard to give birth to the baby in her belly .

After some tossing, more than an hour pa.s.sed . The maid who replaced the teacups in the Xiefang Hall felt that when Niang Niang woke up tomorrow, it would be difficult to see the ceramic utensils in the hall . Suddenly they heard the midwife inside exclaim with joy: “The child’s head is coming out, Niang Niang use a little more force . ”

“Niang Niang, do you hear that? Use a little more force, and the baby will come out . ”

Then there was another hoa.r.s.e cry, followed by a cry of a baby . There was a sudden uproar in the room . Lu Rui rushed out from the inside with blood stained hands and shouted: “Your Majesty, it is a little prince . Niang Niang gave you a healthy little prince, the first little prince of the Ye country . ”

“A prince? Is it a boy?” Feng Tingye’s face was rarely sluggish . It was an expression of overwhelming surprise . During this surprised event, the most n.o.ble man in Ye Kingdom was just another ordinary person .

“Zhen has a child, Zhen has a child . ”

The two and Yan Ran, who was hiding in the corner, couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief . At the same time, they were really happy for this friend who they grew up with .

“Don’t be silly, mr . dad, hurry in and see Niang Niang and our future Crown Prince . ” The two simultaneously stretched out their hands and patted Feng Tingye behind to wake him up .

Feng Tingye finally came back to his senses: “Yes, I don’t know what happened to Ai Fei, I have to go in and see . ”

He quickly stepped forward and just wanted to push the door to go in, when he suddenly heard a cry from inside: “Don’t come in yet!”

Feng Tingye paused, the hearts of the people outside suddenly lifted up again .

After a while, they heard another voice inside, it was Aunt Mei Xi: “There is another, there is another child in Niang Niang’s belly!”
